“Mike is an extremely well-respected creative with extensive integrated experience. His highly collaborative and compassionate leadership style will be a boundless asset for our clients and culture. We cannot wait to partner with him to bring fresh thinking for the brands we serve at Periscope and the robust offerings of Quad.” Cari Bucci-Hulings, Periscope President

“I’m honored to be joining Periscope’s impressive new leadership and to be a key player in the agency’s evolution,” said Caguin. “Real momentum has been created in a short time under Cari’s leadership, and the talent is more than capable of delivering big ideas for brands. I’m also looking forward to sparking conversations with clients about the business and moral importance of inclusion in an increasingly multicultural, transcultural and global market so we can help them connect in new and meaningful ways with their audiences. Factor in the opportunity to work on big initiatives at Quad, and it’s a role I simply couldn’t pass up.”
